Finished out the Elevation Summitt with a bang on day 5 with google certification and restoration practices. 💥 @KEDCGrants @KEDC1 @KyCharge

Day 4 was a success. I’m not sure how but everyday just keeps getting better. @ChickfilA was there to do a leadership cadre (they should be running our country) They even have a leadership academy for HS! I have also organized my families life with google keep. @KEDC1 @KyCharge

A few years ago I was passed over for a job I had wanted for YEARS! God had bigger plans he put me in a school where I found a family of people who loved and supported me and introduced me to this grant full of people who do the same. I’m truly blessed❤️ @KyCharge @KEDCGrants

Elevation Summit Day 2

Day 3 of Elevation Summit was a blast! We got professional headshots courtesy of Taylor and Tyler Haynes @ the people’s portraits and Amber Sargent, a teacher of the year, knocked it out of the park with her session! I’m so excited about our cadres tomorrow!! @KEDC1 @KyCharge

We had a little too much fun making cantars for an Appalachian History Project! Yes they actually play! @KEDC1 @KyCharge @LizNeeley04 @zach

My one word for 2023 is INTENTION. I have realized this year if you aren’t consistently thinking about the end goal, you find yourself doing meaningless things. I want to make sure the things I do this year are intentional and meaningful. @KyCharge @KEDCGrants #leadthecharge

@LizNeeley04 @KyCharge @KEDCGrants Isn’t it absolutely amazing! If the kiddos are doing what they should we spend the last 10 minutes of reading group reading a chapter book using this, I read chapter 1 and they continue reading the rest on their own. They love it!!

[Manda🌻 @MandaRenea98]

Today I went to a book store and saw a 2 books by two authors I have had the pleasure of meeting thanks to CHARGE. Now I’m reading a 3rd book by a 3rd author I got to meet. This grant has opened so many doors for me. @KyCharge @KEDCGrants @laurenTarshis @toriposu @KimMichele_

[KEDC @KEDC1]

Surprise!! 🎉🎉🎉It was a great pleasure to surprise @DrJWEvansJr with his Professional Achievement Award with @eku

I had so much fun on the scavenger hunt! I would love to use something similar with my students, It was super fun and engaging!

[Manda🌻 @MandaRenea98]

We had a blast on the Frankfort immersion trip! Frankfort was so beautiful in the snow and we got to see so many historical places on our scavenger hunt. Who else can say they get opportunities like we these?! This is why I love charge! @KEDCGrants @KyCharge #leadthecharge

[KYCharge @KyCharge]

These students worked so hard Thursday to write thank you letters to veteran residents in our local nursing home. We are so thankful for their service! Not pictured is our “quilt” flag for our favorite veteran and English teacher! #VeteransDay @KEDCGrants @KyCharge

[Manda🌻 @MandaRenea98]

I got so excited about tonight’s cadre I forgot to take pictures.🤦🏽‍♀️ We always get so many great things from @msboleshistory! I left with a better understanding of how to implement TCI and some great new strategies! @KyCharge @KEDCGrants

[Manda🌻 @MandaRenea98]

I have never been so excited to use a resource. Novel Effect is going to be a game changer in my classroom! @KEDCGrants @KyCharge never disappoints! Thank you for helping me make learning fun for my kiddos!

[Manda🌻 @MandaRenea98]

Library of congress never disappoints. What a great session with great resources. @librarycongress @KyCharge @KEDCGrants

[Manda🌻 @MandaRenea98]

& don’t miss the chance to read her book, “A Pearl in the Storm” and the musical about her trip across the Atlantic “Row”

[Manda🌻 @MandaRenea98]

Today I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to speak with @toriposu from @KEDCGrants @KyCharge and it was truly a blessing. She is such a kind, motivating person who shows up for the right reasons. I could go on and on if there wasn’t a character limit. #leadthecharge

Round 2 with @RetroReport was a success! Can’t wait to implement it in my class and share out for round 3. All grades definitely need to work on media literacy. @KEDCGrants @KyCharge
